determined that Warren is the perfect candidate despite the numbers showing Biden is the best candidate to beat Trump. Warren has taken folks away from Sanders and maybe Harris not Biden. I do not believe Warren can win a general and have taken many hits for this viewpoint.

I would support her of course in a general...but I just don't see any path for victory for her in the rust belt...in the electoral college. I believe she takes the popular vote but what good does that do us? And I fear we lose any opportunity to take the senate and we put the house majority at risk if Warren is our nominee. The thing is I like Warren a great deal. I just don't think she will beat the orange monster...and he won with very bad polls numbers in the electoral college in 16.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
